Additional terms applicable to all Scotiabank credit card products

Grace Period: Purchases and Cash Advances	You will benefit from an interest free period of at least 21 days for new purchases and fees, if you pay your statement balance in full by the payment due date shown on your statement. If you do not pay your statement balance in full by the payment due date, you must then pay the interest on all your purchases and fees shown on that month’s statement from the transaction date until we receive your payment for the total amount you owe. There is no interest free period for cash advances. Interest is charged from the day the cash advance is made until we receive your payment for the total amount you owe. Cash advance fees will be charged for any credit card transactions involving the purchase of items directly converted to cash (also referred to as quasi-cash/ cash-like transactions) Examples: casino gaming chips, travellers, cheques money orders, wire transfers, foreign exchange trading and gaming including off track, race track and casino gaming.
Annual Interest Rate	The applicable interest rate is established upon approval of your account. You can find your interest rate printed on the materials accompanying your credit card.
Annual Fees	Annual fees are charged on the first day of the month following your account opening (whether or not the card is activated) and annually thereafter on the first day of the same month.
Maximum Annual Interest Rate	If you do not pay at least your minimum payment by the payment due date, we may, at our discretion, increase the interest rate applicable to all new and existing balances up to 54.99% (EAIR 71.20%) for JMD denominated credit cards and up to 24.99% (EAIR 28.38%) for USD denominate credit cards. You will continue to pay the higher rate of interest, until such time as you have paid the minimum monthly payment by the payment due date for six consecutive months.
